Please post what Operating System and version you have and on which hardware. Most (but not all) of the programs needing SUID are hardware and O/S specific.
One of the few common commands on my unix system which is both SUID and SGID is the wall command.
The first part of our post does not make sense to me. Please post a real world example.

ns_requestauthorize(3aolserver) AOLserver Built-In Commands ns_requestauthorize(3aolserver)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
ns_requestauthorize - commands
SYNOPSIS
ns_requestauthorize option ?arg arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
ns_requestauthorize method URL authuser authpassword ?ipaddr?
Ask the server to check permissions using nsperm. This function does the same permission check that the AOLserver does before serving a
URL. If the nsperm module is loaded, the algorithm is as follows.
1. If the authuser is "nsadmin", the password is correct, and the IP address of the client is allowed nsadmin access, then access is autho-
rized.
2. Find the relevant permission record. If an exact match for the method and URL combination is not found, the end of the URL is pared down
until a match is found. For example, if there is no match for `/products/cereals/raisin_bran.html,' then the server looks for a permis-
sion record for the URL `/products/cereals.' If that permission record is specified as "Exact URL match is NOT required", then that per-
mission record is used.
By default, the server comes with a row that says GET on `/' is open to the world. If no relevant permission record is found, access is
denied (forbidden).
1. If the authuser is in the "Allow Users" list, access is permitted. If the authuser is a member of a group in the "Allow Groups" list and
not in the "Deny Users" list, access is permitted.
2. If the host is in the "Hosts to allow" list, access is permitted. If the host is in the "Hosts to deny" list, access is denied.
3. If the request does not come in with authorization data, access is denied.
4. The user and password are verified. If there is no password specified in the database, any password is accepted.
5. Otherwise, access is denied.
Return Values:
The following values can be returned by ns_requestauthorize.
OK The user has permission to execute this URL and method.
DENIED The user does not have permission to execute this URL and method.
FORBIDDEN There is no possible user/password/IP Address combination that would give authorization.
ERROR There was an error.
